I can't remember exactly what went down with his

If I recall, Zaslow, after finally being diagnosed with ALS (he had had issues with speech before) was fired as the EP in charge (a woman, but I don't think it was JFP) said no one wanted to watch a "wisened little old man". Classy.

 

OLTL hired him as his former OLTL character, David Rinaldi, which I respected the show for.

Frankly, I'd rather watch old(er) actors kiss onscreen.  Whenever the youngins kiss, it always looks sloppy and awkward.

They should have been honest with Jackie - "No one wants to see your mutilated face on a consistent basis." 

that's the reason why she mutilated her face in the first place

Wow disgusting, makes me think of when Jackie Zeman on GH was told "no one wants to see old people kissing" UGHHHHHHHHHHH

Tracy Melchoir exiting the role of Kelly on OLTL (she was fired).

 

On her 2nd to last day of filming, her replacement, Heather Thom, was given a grand tour of the set and a meet and greet with her new co workers while TM was filming. She was so disgusted, Tracy went to the bathroom, vomits and doesn't show up to film her last eppy the next day.

Mary Alice Dwyer Dobbin (MADD) fired Zaslow from GL in 1997

Discussion is not even close. Michael Zaslow. Mickey Dwyer Dobbin - didn't want a wisened old man. She said it in the press, and it was proven. Not to be a bitter bitch, but I hope she died the next day.

Didn't JFP fire Kari Wuhrer for being pregnant on GH? Kinda like she did Laura Koffman

and I think Lesli Kay too or am I wrong about that

 

 

What about when Cady McClain was fired in 2007 for speaking out about the Greg Madden story

P&G fired Michael Zaslow in spring 1997 when he was on medical leave. At least that's what I remember, I could be wrong though. I wasn't watching Guiding Light at that point, but I recall the illness/firing/passing away from reading about it in print and online back then.
